" Few decades ago" or " more than a decade ago" are not contradictory.

Itsuno said Nero was more or less Dante's age in DMC3 and novel gives Nero as 16/17 years old teen.These still match.Yes, a still consider novel to be partially canon or a guide to the story, after all DMC4Se exclusive cutscenes still ride on this book.

At this point, DMC team forgot about DMC3 manga. Even Dan never heard about it before, so...

We are all assuming Nero is child of a human woman, which is probable, but there is no confirmation about this.

For all these years I said Dante was near his 40's( a lot of you must remember it), but nobody believed on it.

DMC team now thinks Lady is 25/30 years old, which is impossible : if she was 16 in DMC3, Dante would be 26 years old, giving Vergil the oportunity of being married, have kids, a house, etc...

DMC story/ canon is now so messy I could bet in next game we will find out it was Vergil's mother in law who drove him crazy and forced him in this power trip.
